Who are these Industrial Nurseries?
This year it seems that just about every one of the local nurseries is
selling branded plants that come from maybe three big growers. This is true of both annuals and perennials. I'm also seeing a trend where instead of selling six packs of annuals for $2 -$3 they're selling one plant (not all that better looking than one in a healthy six pack) for $3.50 or more. Who are these companies who seem to have taken over the nursery business? Where are they? What's going on here? I'm finding it VERY hard to find locally grown plants, which bums me out. The other thing that really bothers me is the uniformity of the offerings. Since I'm seeing the same nursery stock everywhere, I'm also seeing the same cultivars everywhere, which is making it tougher to find interesting things to plant. What's the story here? |
